From The Indianapolis Times, Wednesday, July 4, 1923: Early today, members of the Ku Klux Klan were hissed by a crowd of young men after a special interurban car carrying the Klansmen through Indianapolis to a tri-state celebration in Kokomo stopped at the downtown Terminal Station. Police were called to disburse the crowd after one man was slugged near the front door of the Terminal café. Shortly after the interurban car left the Terminal and resumed its journey north on Capitol Av, a rock was thrown through the rear window of the car and police were summoned to disperse a crowd gathered at Capitol Av and Ohio St. Later in the day, 200,000 Klansmen from Indiana and neighboring states heard Hiram Evans, imperial wizard, declare Indiana “a chartered realm of Klandom and the leadership has passed to her from Texas.”
From The Indianapolis Star, Thursday, July 12, 1923: The Butler College board of directors took another step today in relocating the campus from Irvington to Fairview Park by approving the comprehensive plan, prepared by city plan consultant Lawrence Sheridan, for laying out the college grounds. The plans propose the main approach to the campus on a 150-foot wide 46th St boulevard, the erection of a large administration building with two other buildings soon afterward of either colonial or collegiate Gothic styles, a stadium on 40-acres at 49th St and Boulevard Pl, and an artificial lake. Butler president Robert Aley hoped to see building started by next spring, and while the college will continue to occupy the Irvington campus for the next two years, those buildings and grounds eventually may be bought by the city for grade and high school purposes.
